Many of our students go on to make a name for themselves in major companies — while others have set up successful businesses in their own right.

The world of business and events management is a varied and exciting place and there are plenty of career opportunities for you to choose from in areas such as recruitment, the hospitality and charity sectors, accountancy, marketing and human resources to name but a few.

Some popular career destinations include:

• Business manager
• Event manager / coordinator
• Accounts and finance
• Marketing manager
• Human resource management
• Recruitment manager

You can also progress to study with us at degree level or onto a higher level apprenticeship in business, sales or commercial enterprise.

Our business and events management students have gone on to study at other universities such as the University of Birmingham, University of East Anglia, Liverpool John Moores University, Nottingham Trent University and Manchester Metropolitan University.

Ready for business

Our links with key business professionals means you’ll gain real industry insight from visiting guest speakers, as well as benefit from work experience opportunities and study tours. We have established links with many major businesses including retail giant John Lewis and online electrical store AO.

You’ll also benefit from working with local charities such as St Luke’s Hospice and the Neuromuscular Centre in Winsford.

Gain the advantage

Stand out from the crowd by gaining first-hand experience with our study tours and work towards additional awards.

Our study tours will help you to understand how external influences affect business activity and they include a tour of the Palace of Westminster and the Bank of England Museum. You can also help to organise student socials and charity fundraisers and gain work experience at prestigious events.

Alongside your main qualification you can work towards additional awards such as recognised certificates in volunteering and food hygiene. Training for these qualifications looks fantastic on your CV and contributes to your ongoing professional development.

Where you’ll be studying

You will be studying in the beautiful, rural setting of Cheshire, just one mile outside the busy market town of Nantwich and in easy access of Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Chester.

Our campus is small enough to retain a friendly, family atmosphere but large enough for you to mix with groups of like-minded students. There’s lots of clubs, societies and forums you can join and a lively programme of social events arranged by the Student Association.

Over recent years we’ve invested over £80 million into our campus to create the best possible environment for learning. Our facilities include a £6 million Sports Science and Performance Academy with a training gym, international standard floodlit 4G rugby pitch, a new sports hall and an indoor climbing wall.
